FIFA unveiled the official match ball for the 2026 World Cup, named Trionda, in New York. Designed by Adidas, a partner since 1970, this ball celebrates the tournament’s three co-hosts: the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino shared his excitement, saying, “I’m delighted to present the Trionda.” This marks a key milestone for the first-ever tri-nation World Cup, set for June 11 to July 19, 2026.
The Trionda’s design reflects unity. Red, blue, and green colours honour the host nations. Additionally, it features maple leaves for Canada, an eagle for Mexico, and stars for the USA. A triangle motif symbolises the three countries’ collaboration. As a result, the ball blends cultural pride with visual appeal.
